Working on making my #indiekit fork cloudron/docker deployment multi-site, the idea is that I want anyone to deploy it and have a fully working setup in one shot, for that I created a plugin registry that act as “source of truth” for which plugin exist or is enabled per site and which version to deploy.
This also allow me to test end to end the deployment of a new site using my fork, literally putting myself in the shoes of anyone doing it.
The result is that I had to refactor quite a few parts to make site-configuration driven by data rather than env files.
This allow me to configure any parts of the theme/site without touching code. well “any” is still a long shot ahead but I got branding, identity, h-card, homepage, blog sidebars fully data driven, if I change an option, its going to rebuild Eleventy and present me the changes in near real time, one rebuild away.
I’m also using this opportunity to migrate my wordpress based chardonsbleus site to indiekit and since chardonsbleus.org is not a blog and more a typical website I’ve had to make quite some modifications to let users decide how they want each page or post to behave, allowing them to choose widgets to display, sections to display for the homepage, without touching code.
its still a work in progress, but I’m getting there !

The idea that you can “reset your algorithm” by doing X or Y on corporate platforms is absolutely ridiculous.
At most you can influence just a bit the way you are impacted by feeding it dislike or not interested actions but ultimately the corporations that own the algorithm enforce whatever it wants to every users.
You can’t “reset your algorithm” by watching 2 min shorts of nature or music or whatever. It’s an urban myth.
You can’t pray the algorithm to obtain a change, it’s a delusion.
The idea that if you land on a short is in itself a rare privilege encouraging you to like, comment or share the video is just another mechanism to manipulate the user, it has no impact whatsoever besides provoking a waterfall of similar content to keep you hooked.
In the same way, replacing words such as S*x or whatever words to avoid hurting one’s account against the algorithm is ridiculous.
People are self-censoring by pretending that masquerading keywords will avoid the algorithmic reranking of one’s post is another collective delusion. It’s like people adopt censorship thinking they can bypass algorithms or make their content surface better because it has S*x instead of Sex is beyond ridiculous.

TLDR : A reflection on why simple stories of kindness, compassion, and humanity can evoke such powerful emotions, even in an age of algorithms and viral content.
Sometimes I think it’s ridiculous how my mind reacts to a simple video, or even just a short piece of text telling a story about compassion, goodwill, humanity, or empathy.
Our social media feeds are filled with these stories. Some—maybe many—are probably made up, carefully designed to create engagement and go viral. Others are manufactured from the start as beautiful but fictional narratives. Those aren’t the ones I’m talking about.
I mean the simple posts that are often nothing more than a box of text. You actually have to stop and read them to grasp the story. Some of those are probably fictional too.
It’s also likely that the Algorithm ©®™ has noticed how much I enjoy this type of content and keeps serving me more of it, or stories that follow the same pattern. But that’s not really the point.
What I find interesting is how my brain can experience genuine emotions from such simple stories.
A person helping someone else without expecting anything in return. A father struggling to feed his children being helped by a stranger. A truck driver stopping to help a struggling single mother. The examples could go on indefinitely.
What amazes me is how powerfully humans respond to stories. Whether they come through books, movies, TV series, or a single social media slide, stories have a unique ability to move us. Sometimes just one paragraph is enough. A few lines of text can spark beautiful emotions because something in the story resonates with something within us.
And sometimes those emotions bring tears. Not tears of sadness, but something harder to describe. It’s a strange mixture of gratitude, hope, tenderness, and awe. A story touches a nerve, and a wave of feeling rises from somewhere deep inside. It swells quietly and then crashes onto the shore of the mind, like the sea.
It fascinates me that even when I know some of these stories may be exaggerated or entirely fictional, the emotional response can still be real. The facts matter, of course, but there is also something deeper at work. Perhaps it is the reminder that kindness exists, that people are capable of helping one another, and that goodness still has the power to surprise us. Maybe that is why these stories linger long after I’ve finished reading them.
Perhaps stories is why humanity is still around.

When historians write about the decline of democratic institutions in the early twenty-first century, they may not focus on artificial intelligence, deepfakes or social media algorithms. They may focus on a bus. A red bus promised that leaving the Eu...

The paradox of a country governed by lawyers is that an obsession with procedure can become a weakness when confronted by authoritarianism. Whether the threat comes from corporations, the state, or an unofficial dictatorship, legalism alone is a poor defense. The United States, for all its self-congratulatory mythology about having “the best constitution in the world,” increasingly looks like a case study in democratic erosion. At times, even countries like Hungary or Turkey have shown greater institutional resilience.

Reading : how to destroy a literary reputation in one move?
https://www.honest-broker.com/p/how-to-destroy-a-literary-reputationPermalinkInspired by Dune’s Litany against Fear :
I must not fear AI.
Fear is the reputation-killer.
Fear of being left behind drives institutions to replace judgment with automation. Fear of losing market share drives executives to trade trust for efficiency. Fear of missing the future drives them to abandon the very people who made them worth reading.
I must not worship AI.
AI is a tool, not a conscience. It can generate words, but not wisdom. It can mimic expertise, but not earn it. It can produce content, but not trust.
I will permit AI to pass through my workflow and through my tools.
I will use it, but I will not surrender my judgment to it.
And when the hype has passed and the dashboards are forgotten, I will turn the inner eye to see what remains.
Words are abundant. Content is abundant. Information is abundant.
Trust is scarce.
If trust remains, the institution survives.
If trust is gone, no amount of generated content can bring it back.
Only trust will remain.

En réponse à ceci
Deuxième étape pour la France… Donner la même importance et la même visibilité à toutes les victimes plutôt que de favoriser les victimes de chanteurs, d’auteurs, de personnalités connues. La Justice française dort et ne se réveille que quand ses stars sont touchées.
Faut-il être victime d’une personnalité connue ou être d’une famille importante pour avoir le droit à la justice?

Quand Putin investit dans les idiots utiles pour servir ses intérêts

Chaque fois qu’éclate une affaire de viol en France, j’ai la même réflexion : et si c’était un viol d’un inconnu contre une inconnue, la Justice et la société et les Médias donneraient ils la même importance qu’à Patrick Bruel par exemple?
Faut-il être un criminel avec un nom et une classe sociale différente pour qu’un viol soit considéré grave et important?
C’est tout ce que la France donne en guise de réponse par l’exercice de la pratique.
Que ce soit dans les médias ou la Justice.
La Justice de classe, elle est organisée et mise en place par les institutions, par l’État et son inertie chronique.
Elle profite directement les prédateurs au détriment des victimes.
Pendant que la presse mange des popcorns sur les décombres de vies brisées, pendant que nos sociétés sont plus intéressées par la révélation que par la souffrance des victimes, pendant que nos sociétés continuent d’asseoir les processus judiciaire sur des lois conçues pour protéger les prédateurs, des millions de cas de viols, d’abus sur des femmes et des enfants continuent.
En toute impunité

I got annoyed. Every time I wanted to bookmark a page or jot down a note, I’d open the Indiekit admin UI in a new tab, paste a URL, and click around. Small friction. But small friction repeats forever. So two days ago I started a brainstorm with Clau...

Odd situation with buzzworkers LetsEncrypt certificate was not renewing properly, changed gandi API LiveDNS (deprecated) to PAT and forced cloudron to renew the certificate. Problem solved but in more than a decade its the first time a LE certificate does not renew properly on its own.
